Cultivating Physical Mediumship with Robin Foy (1943 - 2022) (4K Reboot)

Summary

Robin Foy, founder of the Noah's Ark Society and the famous Scole Experiment, recounts five decades of pursuing physical mediumship, from his first seance circle in Leicester in 1973 to sittings with direct voice medium Leslie Flint. He describes startling claimed phenomena, including a pet hamster and dog allegedly teleported by spirits and a spirit team that taught his group to produce phenomena using 'creative energy' instead of ectoplasm. He also explains how spirit messages, including clues about goats with bells and golden eagles, led him to a property near a sacred mountain in Antequera, Spain, for a new Spiritual Science center.

Transcript excerpt

On one of the kitchen surfaces was a cage in which we had one of the daughters had got a school hamster in there. And this cage was still locked, but the hamster was missing. And we sort of looked high and low. We had everybody from the circle on their knees looking for this blinking hamster in the lounge and couldn't find it. And in the end, Sandra went back into the kitchen and said to Spirit aloud, Look, Spirit, if you've got this hamster, bring him back. And as she stood there and looked at the surface, the kitchen surface, a bright light appeared on the kitchen surface that was very much vibrating and vibrating very fast. And as the vibration slowed down, the form of the hamster appeared and got gradually sort of more and more solid. Until he was just back to normal again. And that was the first one of the teleportation experiments we'd seen. They hadn't harmed the animal at all. He was totally okay. Keep watching to learn more.
